Description of the problem	Auto dual dry clutch transmission. Manufactured 7/2013, purchased new from dealer 1/14. Car shuddered and hesitated on the test drive. Told it would smooth out because it was an adaptive transmission. Continued to shudder, hesitate and lurch. Brought back to the dealer 3 days after purchase. The car has been in 5 times since and still is not fixed. The dealer will no longer take the car for service and said the car will not function properly during heavy, stop and go traffic and there is nothing they can do. The recall was completed but it did not help. They suggested we contact fiat customer care who has opened a case but not responded and not returning phone calls. Car is unused because it is unsafe.

Dealer refuses to accept car in for service, said "this transmission will not function in heavy stop and start traffic. You need to contact fiat, there is nothing more we can do for you." 7.
